RED BULL -

Make the switch to an e-MTB and you won't regret it! Check out eight of the most desirable models currently on the market.

The market for e-mountain bikes is exploding, so it’s no surprise there are countless brands – established and emerging – getting involved and seriously investing in e-MTB development. And there are some fantastic bikes out there right now.

From beefy, gravity-defying machines to lightweight all-rounders, from the ultra-expensive to the more affordable, there’s a lot to choose from. Here's our top picks.

1. OVERALL: Thok Mig

Direct-to-consumer Italian brand Thok’s MIG bike has reviewers falling at its feet. Why? It simply offers a superb package – its geometry and construction are as on-the-ball as its choice of Shimano motor, battery placement – giving low centre of gravity – and quality build kit. At under £4k, the MIG is great value too (there is also a pricier MIG R, featuring upgraded components). Thok knows its stuff, which is hardly surprising when you look at its founder. Former champion downhill racer Stefano Migliorini understands what makes a good bike, and he personally leads the charge on bike development at Thok.
